Summary

Introduction:

Based on our experience with calcitonin as an FGF-23 suppressive agent in a patient with an FGF-23 producing tumor we hypothesize that calcitonin may be a physiologically important regulator of FGF-23 production and secretion in healthy humans.

Aim:

In this study we wish to examine the FGF-23 suppressive effects of calcitonin in healthy men.

Study Design:

placebo-controlled, cross-over study

Method:

- All twelve subjects are examined on two occasions, once after exposure to placebo 1 ml

NaCl 0. 9% subcutaneously, and once following calcitonin 200 IU/ml subcutaneously

- On both occasions frequent bloodsampling will take place, out an indwelling catheter in

de forearm vein.

- Sampling times: -15, 0, 60, 120, 240, 360, and 480 minutes

- Mealtimes: Calcium and Phosphate intake standardized on both occasions

- All samples are analyzed for FGF-23, using a C-terminal FGF-23 ELISA kit (Immunotopics,

San Clemente, USA) that measures intact and C-terminal fragments of FGF-23, and one that measures only intact FGF-23

- Samples obtained at T-15, T0, T240 and T480 are stored for later analysis of Ca,

albumin, PO4, PTH, 25-OHD and 1,25-OHD

Endpoint:

A change of 25% in de serum FGF-23 levels in response to a single subcutaneous injection of calcitonin 200 IU.
